Luca Rizzoli

Luca Rizzoli is an Italian flanker representing Zebre Parma in the United Rugby Championship. Born on 3 May 2002, he is a product of the Italian rugby pathway and one of the developing forwards Zebre have leaned on to strengthen their back row. Rizzoli's game is built on relentless tackling and effectiveness at the breakdown, where he works to slow opposition ball and win back possession for his side. Flankers of his profile are valued for their defensive output and their willingness to commit to the contest again and again, supporting play across the park. Competing in a demanding league that tests Italian sides against the leading provinces of Ireland, Wales, Scotland and South Africa, Rizzoli is gaining valuable experience at a formative stage of his career. As a homegrown talent in Zebre's pack, he stands among the promising back-row options charged with helping drive the next chapter of Italian club rugby.
